Bumping into a Daft Racist

After three lengthy auditions and much nail-biting I am taking my very own comedy creation, the legendary New Basford resident and top bloke Kirky (named after my great pal Kirky...I'm looking forward to seeing you bro!), onto your television sets.

I don't want to talk in too much detail just yet, or give too much away but yesterday was the first day of filming at BBC Television Centre. This was like a dream come true, pulling up to that famous building in a Jaguar (not mine, they had it come and pick me up) and gliding past security and onwards and upwards, deep into the bowels of the BBC to do my first day of filming there.

I remember standing in a corridor, waiting to go in and do my stuff outside of the studio we were filming in and had a real moment of "what the fuck I am doing here, how did I manage this?" before I heard action and was diving into what I do best.

The only downside, in what was a spectacular day in my life, was touching the BNP's uber-fuhrer Nick Griffin. I actually walked into him, or he walked into me, not sure which way round it was...it was all so quick. I was surprised because the fat, daft, one-eyed racist was moving at quite a pace for a big lad and was lurching far ahead of his burly minders and apparatchiks.

He kind of bounced off me, made his apologies, as did I...even instinct in an instant can bypass my loathing of bigots and scuttled off into a lift.

I discovered that my dressing room was right next to his and I thought about knocking on and having a chat with him but I thought better not cause a scene on my first day at the BBC.

Turned out he was there to do an interview for Radio 5 Live, which you can hear right here if you want to hear the daft racist blathering on.

I am so excited! From now on I will have to label any posts that hint at you with 'celebrity' (probably a little late after the movie and all that, but better late than never). Woohoo! Very exciting stuff, Daniel!

The BIG one is for the BBC shenanigans and the smaller one is for resisting the temptation to say, "Watch where you're going you fat fascist prick!" (You could've followed it up with an indignant, "Don't you know who I am?")

I must confess, I did worry if I could catch racism from him, so to be safe I went for a racist test and I'm clean, thank God.

And to answer your question Claude, yes but he is also quite small and smirky. If that makes any sense...hard to see the man when I despise him so much.

As for fame and/or celebrity...well, not too sure about that yet, you never know how things are going to turn out do you? I do worry that any level of fame will effect my blogging, which would be a blow and I can assure everyone that I would forget no one. Indeed, one upside of fame is that all my links would become instant web hits!

Seriously? Congratulations! I have no idea what exactly you did or how much fame and recognition it will bring you, but there is no doubt it is well-deserved. I look forward to hearing/listening/seeing more of you in any medium.

Congrats in getting into Auntie Beeb's house. A jaguar to pick you up? You lucky sod!

Coincidentally, I hear Griffin on Radio5live. Been listening to PODCASTS from Nicky Campbell for the past few weeks, and was fascinated by how the majority of the listeners just knew where they stand with the BNP.

Good stuff! Was so funny listening to a black guy calling in to say "It'll be a cold night in hell" before he joins the BNP. Yet when he started, it was like all peaches...wondering whether he has any black guys in his party...

Good listening!

Did I say congrats on the BBC?? Well done, mate! More piccies!

Daniel, was it not ur birthday on 17th April? Mine's today...don't see ur birth date featured on ur blog anymore...where did it go?
